Three Brothers Bakery Legendary Thanksgiving Pies & Pumpecapple Piecake

About this adventure

Founded in Houston in 1949 by Holocaust survivor brothers Sigmund, Sol, and Max Jucker—who learned scratch baking in Chrzanów, Poland—Three Brothers Bakery is a revered 5th-generation Houston institution. For Thanksgiving, the bakery produces tens of thousands of holiday desserts, most notably its award-winning Southern Pecan Pie, Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie, and Salted Caramel Pecan Pie, all baked with rich flaky crusts and mammoth Texas pecans. Three Brothers Bakery is internationally famous for creating the 'Pumpecapple Piecake'—an 11-inch-tall, 24-pound showstopper dubbed the 'Turducken of desserts.' It features three entire pies baked inside three cake layers: pumpkin pie in spice cake, pecan pie in chocolate cake, and apple pie in spice cake, all layered with cream cheese icing, caramel drizzle, and pecans. Families line up at the Braeswood flagship and satellite shops across Houston for holiday dinner rolls, gingerbread turkeys, and scratch pies.
